According to a criminal complaint, police arrested Strasser on North Avenue after exiting Highway 45 over the weekend. During booking, police said Strasser threatened two Wauwatosa police officers and their families, saying his son was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood and would pay them a visit.

According to the complaint, the officers asked Strasser what he meant when he said his son was part of a white supremacist group, and he told them “You know what it means, like the district attorney and his wife.”

Officials said both officers believed Strasser was referring to the double slaying of an assistant district attorney and his wife in Texas in January, which investigators are linking to the Aryan Brotherhood gang.

Strasser’s former sister-in-law, Pam Alexander, told 12 News Strasser’s son is not a member of the Aryan Brotherhood.

“I think (Strasser) just had too much to drink. No, his son is not (a member of the Aryan Brotherhood),” said Alexander. “He barely has any contact with his son, so why even said something like that, I don’t know.”

Police said several drivers called 911 reporting Strasser’s car was all over the road Saturday afternoon. Strasser told officers he’d been drinking beer and vodka.

Investigators said Strasser also repeatedly talked about how he tried to kill a Wauwatosa police officer almost 16 years ago.

Strasser, who pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless endangerment charge in 1997, appeared in court Tuesday morning and remains in jail.

A spokesman for the Wauwatosa Police Department told 12 News officers are threatened all the time while on the job, especially while arresting intoxicated individuals.
